  • deformation member 8 distends housing 5 from its normal undeformed shape as shown in FIG. 3, to the operative shape shown in FIG. 1 in which there is produced a bulge 9 defining an annular sealing surface 10 round its outer periphery; and an outer tip 11 on housing 5 which protrudes from bulge 9 towards port 3 and has a recessed outer end face 6a.
  • Bulge 9 flares radially outwardly from protruding tip 11.
  • the protruding tip 11 has a normal outer diameter which is fractionally less than the diameter of port 3 so that protruding tip 11 is adapted to enter port 3 with a slight clearance under zero pressure conditions, prior to sealing surface 10 engaging seat 4 when closure means B is moved towards seat 4 to shut off port 3.
  • valve A In use when valve A is connected in a fluid line with socket 12 located on the high pressure side and closure means B is moved towards seat 4, protruding tip 11 is operative to displace solid particles away from seat 4 when tip 11 enters port 3. Tip 11 also obstructs the central part of port 3 and defines a restricted annular passage 13 which extends round the periphery of port 3. Although the volume of fluid flowing is reduced, that which continues to flow forms an accelerated jet of fluid which blows between sealing surface 10 and seat 4 to clean them of dirt or other foreign matter before the flow is cut off entirely, as they engage and shut off port 3.
  • the clearance between tip 11 and the periphery of port 3 is such that solid particles of a size likely to cause damage to seat 4 and/or to sealing surface 10 and/or to impair sealing engagement between the sealing surface 10 and seat 4, are unable to pass through restricted annular passage 13 from valve compartment 1b to the zone between seat 4 and sealing surface 10.
  • tip 11 When sealing surface 10 engages seat 4 to shut valve A, tip 11 is located in port 3 and pressure in lower compartment 1b urges the peripheral formation 6b defined by the recessed outer end face 6a of the tip 11 radially outwardly into sealing engagement with the surround of port 3 to improve the sealing effect of the valve.

  • the open end of housing 5 normally tapers outwardly and is provided round its outer periphery with a screw thread 23 which is adapted to engage the thread of socket 21.
  • Plug 18 is provided with a peripheral groove 27 at the lower end of its thread to avoid the tapered open end of housing 5 being caught in the threads of plug 18 and to ensure that the tapered inner end of plug 18 exerts adequate radial force on the open end of housing 5 to trap it firmly.
  • the material of housing 5 which is forced into groove 27 assists to hold the open end of housing 5 from withdrawal from plug 18.
  • Housing 5 may be provided round its inner periphery in a position spaced inwardly of its open end, with a locating rib 24, which is adapted to seat against the tapered inner end 22 of plug 18, but this is not essential.

  • the deformation member may also be made of any suitable natural or synthetic material, such as ferrous or non-ferrous metal or polymer material, such as synthetic hard rubber or "TEFLON".
  • Housing 5 encloses spindle 16 and isolates it from fluid flowing through valve A. Housing 5 provides an effective fluid seal round spindle 16 so that a packing or similar sealing means embracing spindle 16 is not required.
  • the screw threaded engagement between the open end of resilient housing 5 and threaded socket 21 forms an effective seal against the escape of fluid under pressure from upper valve compartment 1a.

  • Such inward displacement of the wall of housing 5 into space 28 serves as a resilient shock absorbing means to minimise water hammer effects.
  • the radial projection of deformation member 8 beyond its stem 14 may be related to the radial projection of transverse flange 26 from stem 14 so that when the wall of resilient housing 5 is displaced inwardly by pressure in valve compartment 1a, upward pressure against transverse flange 26 is in balance or very nearly in balance with downward pressure on the projection of deformation member 8, thereby to create a condition of substantial pressure balance in compartment 1a which facilitates the upward movement of closure means B to open valve A.
  • stem 14 may be provided with a separate collar which is secured to stem 14, such as by welding, to constitute a transverse backing formation.
  • partition 2 is shown as integrally formed with casing 1. It is also possible for partition 2 to comprise a separate element adapted to be secured to casing 1 in the edge zones 2a, such as by welding. Casing 1 may have any suitable shape other than that shown in FIG. 1.
